To promote the sports, he also provides free Arm wrestling training in Delhi every Sunday and has trained thousands of students till date and launched this sport in various school, Colleges, Universities and other institutions.

However, due to absence of government recognition, Laxman and other players has to bear lodging, boarding and training costs himself for all the championships.
